• Buku
• Bukubrow WebExtension
• If building the host:
  • Rust / Cargo

Installing the host and registering it with your browser is required to allow the browser extension to talk to Buku.

The host is available from the following package managers:

• AUR: bukubrow (official) / bukubrow-bin (official)
• Nix: bukubrow

If you've installed the host via a package manager, skip to step 4.

If you've downloaded the host from the releases page, skip to step 3.

1. Clone the repo.
2. Run cargo build --release. Note that you'll need your target platform installed and configured with Cargo. Your executable will be located at target/release/bukubrow.
3. Move the executable to a suitable location, for example /usr/local/bin/.
4. Install the host file for your browser via the executable, for example bukubrow --install-firefox.

Further options can be viewed with bukubrow --help.

The host is written in Rust stable. The messages it expects to receive from the WebExtension follow a faux HTTP format; for instance, to get all the bookmarks, you pass it a JSON object of the following format: { "method": "GET" }.
